The company’s new annual dividend of $2.68 per share will reflect a dividend yield of 1.4% based on Friday’s closing price.

The CEO of Trane, Dave Regnery, said, “Our sustainability-focused strategy and strong execution enables us to maximize business reinvestment, while at the same time return substantial cash to shareholders. This announcement reinforces our commitment to paying a competitive dividend that grows at or above the rate of earnings growth over time, and reflects continued confidence in our ability to generate strong cash flow.”

Price Target

Last month, Deutsche Bank analyst Nicole Deblase maintained a Hold rating on the stock and raised the price target to $193 from $192 (downside potential of 0.2%).

Consensus among analysts is a Hold based on 2 Buys, 4 Holds and 1 Sell. The average Trane price target of $195.86 implies upside potential of 1.3%.
